It's actually the (very) top of the Prudential tower in Boston, photoshopped into the nighttime road scene, because that's the association I made in my young brain at the time so that's how I remember it. The shape is what I think makes the experience so eerie, because I've seen next to no UFO descriptions like that, and it's hard to fit it into profiles of any kind of potential aircraft it might have been. A few years ago, one of those Stealth fighters overflew here, in town for Seafair or some other airshow, and that was almost as weird and unexpected looking in the sky. The thing my family saw didn't make any noise, though...

My second greatest fear as a kid was seeing this peering in my window someday, so I wanted out of that area ASAP:

Now, I wish we'd stopped to figure out what the heck the thing was, because I know it wasn't an alien craft.

Superfly, the whole reason I posted this story was to get you to post your Bigfoot story.

It's kind of spooky reading this thread, 'cause I've been reading about UFO sightings in recent days, just out of curiousity. I already have enough trouble sleeping, so why I do that to myself, I don't know. There are so many sightings, many involving very reliable people, such as law enforcement officers, military officers, pilots, etc (and now Fries!). The one story that creeped me out the most was the Frederick Valentich disappearance. That one had me spooked out for a good night.

I don't know. The Universe is such a big place and to say there's nothing out there, seems to me an aweful waste of space.

And yeah, Fries, if I'd a seen that starring into my window, I would have taken a HUGE dump. Literally. I read that supposedly something like that did happen in the Kelly-Hopkinsville encounter case. Spooky!

....and red eyes. If something starring back at you with red eyes, thats just bone chilling...............!

Anyway, I'd really like to hear your Bigfoot stories too, Superfly. Was recently reading about a Fire Chief here in Miami who lives near the Everglades, who photographed the Florida Skunk Ape (Florida's version of Bigfoot, which supposedly lives in the Everglades and really stinks).

A bunch of these get creepy, especially if you look to when the database started about 7-8 years ago.

I haven't really read them in quite awhile, but I used to stay up at the office late at night reading sighting and really freaking myself out (very large corporate office, all lights off, usually the last one there).

Obviously, what you and your family saw was the Skull & Bones secret airship delivering the monthly shipment of virgins to the Bush seaside resort and water-boarding park...

I wasn't going to go there, but actually, we were only about three miles from Walker Point, though at the time I guess it was only notable as the summer home of CIA Director George H. W. Bush.

The object wasn't moving in the direction of Walker Point -- it seemed to be heading for either Wells Beach or possibly Ogunquit Beach, two very well-lit, populated areas. The thing wasn't moving fast at all, really, just sort of lazily spinning and drifting across the sky. It's weird that we heard no other reports of people sighting it...

My Dad, who was a Captain and pilot assisting a USAF General who went on to command NORAD, says he never caught wind of any conspiracy to conceal flying saucers from the world.

This experience was the only remotely paranormal thing that's ever happened to me, which is why I keep picking at it, I guess.
